Digital Room Correction For Speakers

MHO...OK, my preferences....I've been running 'active room eq' for nearly two decades now.  I prefer to 'run the space flat' since I've never had, nor wish for, a 'dedicated listening space', 'man cave', or the like.  Doesn't really fit my/our 'lifestyle', of which music is a semi-daily sort of thing.

You can't substantially change the room.  You can stuff various 'n sundry about, absorbing this or that.  But you're still in the same space with the same dimensions, same fundamentals and harmonics.

If one gets religious about it, one can take the calibrated mike, run samples of multiple points within the space, & average it out.  It may sound a tad odd for awhile, but after awhile one gets the point that you're getting to hear the music rather than the room and/or the equipment.

Works for me, anyway.  We'll all do what scratches the itch, after all. *G* ;)

I wonder why no one ever talks about master setting speakers.  If you own a piano, I am sure you would want to tune it.

This has not been mentioned here, but in my experience, using dipole speakers (especially dipole bass) is a very effective way of reducing room interaction to start with (as in LXmini / LX521 speakers).

i have owned and used DIRAC mini dap and DEQX HDP-4

the DIRAC was easy to use and pretty good results by I expect you could achieve  very similar results with the Roon EQ and using your ears.

DEQX speaker correction was a clear win however you need a lot of patience and and hard work to fully understand and implement the rest of it effectively. great if you like this type of project where you can experiment endlessly but perhaps also leaves you constantly wondering if you have achieved the best results or not!

for a bass issue (and where room treatment may not be pratical) i would use Roon EQ by ear, and experiment with speaker placement.
